Agreed! The reason why manufacturers moved to soldering CPU’s, SSD’s, RAM, and other components to the MB simply to keep you coming back and buying a whole new machine. It’s the same companies that push for “green” products yet make it near impossible to refurbish your old equipment.
This fights absolutely nothing at all. .The machine is still obsolete in the exact same way. It’s slightly faster but you still cannot install Mac Os Ventura
the pcb water is called isopropanol, the solder paste is called flux, and the thermal glue is called thermal paste. solder paste is flux with added solder, but the glue around the cpu after cpu-change is missing. ^^ i like the video and want to learn how to replace soldered cpu´s, reprogram chips, bios, and pcb repair. thank you, good work!
There's actually a thing called solder paste, it replaces the soldering wire found commonly. Usually used in automated machines where they use a mask to apply solder paste, a pick and place machine places components on PCB and finally the board is baked in a temperature controlled oven.
Yup this was my thoughts. I have an I5 ITX build, there is just enough room in there to cool that. I tried putting an I7 in there and the performance increase vs the noise of the fan just didn't make sense to keep it.
I wish this guy offered this as a service I could pay for. What a genius ! Always seen comments where hundreds of people said this isn’t possible and laughed at the idea. Well who’s laughing now look at this man defy apple forcing us to buy more macs
What is more costly? To replace the complete MacBook or have done this? I guess not many people can afford such tools, let alone have such skills... BTW where to get a brand new fitting serial number?
Hi Liu, i want upgrade ssd of my macbook air 2015, what kind of ssd can i use with my macbook. Can you recommend a usable ssd for my macbook. Thank you very much 😊
If i ever needed to upgrade mine, ill definitely talk to you, This is beauty turning mac's into a beast! Pleasee make more video like this so you can educate every techgeek!
God Bless Master Liu, your family, and the work you do. your videos are helpful and informative, i am learning so much. keep up the great work. THANK YOU!
Should be added that displayed CPU replacement on programmable soldering station with preheater, is not for DIY at home. Although it depends... for ones who have spare money and a corner in garage or dry basement for it, it is not a problem. But unfortunately not for regular apartment dwellers.
Dear friend, i have a MacBook pro mid 2015 with 2tb ssd and 16gb of ram, is it possible to upgrade the CPU from i7 to i9. And is it possible to upgrade the ram by soldering new ram chips to get 32gb.
3:08 You shouldn't have applied the thermal paste on the PCH (the smaller die besides the CPU). I thought it was the GPU, but it doesn't. The GPU is packed with the CPU die itself, not separated. So the PCH might get more heat from the cpu if you apply thermal paste on it, as the PCH doesn't generate too much heat.
Yes,Friend, the PCH crystal on the original motherboard will also have thermal paste, so that it will not affect the heat dissipation of the CPU. thanks for your guidance
Chinese technicians are MASTERS at repurposing ,upgrading and making new things out of antiquated devices , absolutely amazing , this is how the world should recycle E-waste.

Im more impressed that such specialist tools exist!
Yes, the technology is limitless and you can learn more interesting ways
They have existed for a while now. You can also do it manually, but the risk of bending a pin (or eating a pin because of the heat) is pretty high.
someone made bad decisions while designing the laptop
Here’s my guess, a “refurbished” i7 Mac may have undergone this process. It doesn’t look bad, just not original.
This is not an upgrade, it’s art!
Thanks
@@masterliu1892 Wonder if 8th gen could be used. If it's H-sku, I wonder if a Xeon M could be used.
@@ellenorbjornsdottir1166 No, CPU pins are different, 2015 is the 5th generation, 8th is 2018
right, because he could have just bought a core i7 instead, then sell out the i5
I completely agreed....this is manufacturing MacBook Pro
Very well made and interesting to watch, I have no plans to do this upgrade myself, but enjoyed learning what goes into it!
Thanks for your support!
I wish I had such skills and tools. One Mac could last a lifetime. Every time a piece dies you can just replace it
Yes, you can do it. When you learn how to repair Macbook, you can repair a lot of Macbook motherboards
I bet if your tried you’d be surprised ! You can do it just as well as the OP!!!!! I bet you it isn’t as hard as you believe it is.
Ifixit can help you with that

@@MasterLiuTechnology once support of old macport is over and U cant install new apps
This is such a mastery in fighting Apple's planned obsolescence. Replacing A1502's battery and SSD was the best I could do.
This fights absolutely nothing at all. .The machine is still obsolete in the exact same way. It’s slightly faster but you still cannot install Mac Os Ventura
And then they void your warranty for fixing their shit product into the way it should have been in the first place
@@AgentCraftwork something tells me that the warranty already expired after 8 years
@@Coolie-ds4tu The only way of fighting Apple obsolescence is not buying their crap at all.
Like a boss. lol you make this all look so simple. Applause all around to you good sir!
Thank you
Wonderful video and method! Is it possible to upgrade that specific MacBook Pro to Quad-core i7? Or only dual-core i7?

Hello friend, thank you for your guidance. I will share more videos

Probably the easiest upgrade video of a BGA CPU
People like you never ceased to impress me, Keep it up!!!
Thank you for your support
I like it when our devices are easily user upgradeable such as this one :)
This is the opposite of easily upgradable, he has to reball and reflow the BGA under the cpu, it’s just more work than the machine is worth
this isnt easily user upgradable xD
@@benstockton2285 that's the
that's the joke
I got huge respect for your work, Master Liu ! On top of it, very interesting and educational !
Where do you get the upgrade CPU? I assume for another donor board?
Should not be replaced the cpu cooling as well?
Very nice video :) but I think that an i7 with high thermal throttling is the same that to have an i5 with normal thermal throttling.
Yup this was my thoughts. I have an I5 ITX build, there is just enough room in there to cool that. I tried putting an I7 in there and the performance increase vs the noise of the fan just didn't make sense to keep it.
0:43 so the cooler only touches one die on the CPU PCB? That is not a good cooler.
me interesa saber si los cursos estan disponibles en español
Would any rework machine can be used? Why the coin?
I wish this guy offered this as a service I could pay for. What a genius ! Always seen comments where hundreds of people said this isn’t possible and laughed at the idea. Well who’s laughing now look at this man defy apple forcing us to buy more macs
It's risky to remove the chip like that. It's not like there's a latch to remove cpu like with desktops
Not even planning on doing it but I watched the whole thing anyway 😂
Thank you
i didnt even have a macbook, but it was a nice video
How would you even do it? Buying a desoldering machine like that, which costs probably more than 3 macbooks? Not to mention the specialized toolware
Dont even have a macbook but watched it 😁
@@Beatleman91 yeah BGA machines are expensive but if you realize you need one then you probably have a reason for it. Not many people have these.
Master Liu, can macbook pro late 2011 to change this processor? I mean from i5 to i7? 😁
buy a new one
I love your screw driver set, do you have a link to AliExpress?

Master....What is the link for the bios tool
Is there anyway to do this without the super expensive heating pad?
Is there any upgrades for MacBook Air mid2011 ?
And Mac Pro 2008 ?
@Master Liu what the price for doing that ?!
You think this could work for the mid 2012 a1278
how was the cpu placed back and the pins aligned perfect???????????
Truly a master doing it's work! Well done Master Liu!
Very nice screwdriver kit. Where can it be bought?
Se tiene que poner otro numero de serie?
Cool!, ¿pero de donde saca esta gente estas herramientas?
Ele trocou o processador e ainda teve que regravar a BIOS? O Mac não reconheceu o I7?
Where would you get an i7 chip from?

Where's Rossman at?
If I ever needed to change my ram… how do I contact you.. my max is mid 2015 MacBook Pro
So power stage to cpu is the same i5-i7?
I can't even my cereals without spilling the milk and u doing this ...
Impressive! Why not increase the memory while your at it.
Yes, there is also a video method to upgrade memory。ruclips.net/video/CyZ8bON9cSI/видео.html
Friend, it is needed just CLEAN the "ME Region", right??? Not put any other code in this area?!
BGA chips are kinda of impossible to replace for the average joe

Hi，friend ,thanks for your support
What’s the performance difference between the i5 and i7 this gen?
i7 better
Not enough to be worth this trouble lol, but it's cool to see.
What is the cost of this surgery?

Can this be done on A1708
Can I upgrade it to a i9 instead?
How about that DDR3 Ram?
I love that one of the chips only partially touches the heat spreader.....
Were do I download a cpu?
Dude, it's alien technology. How you dare to make it public?
Amazing job!!!
Really easy and it doesn’t quite need any skills or tools.
Thank you for share your knowledge Master Liu
que ventaja a parte de 300mhz tiene el cambio de i5 a i7? veo que ambos son dual core
Usually Cache or CPU Threads
@@theloafy and higher turbo boost frequency
This is pure art!
Did any of these machines come with i9 chips?
No
Nice job, but pretty sure there is no performance difference with that tiny cooler.
why don't u upgrade it to quad core? change to i7 but still dual core not much difference.
Can I get that usb stick iso?
How much to do it in China?

@@masterliu1892 so We can apply thermal paste in pch crystal. How to differentiate pch and gpu in cpu?
Yes, he should. It does get hot enough to req. heat dissipation, if you say something that is obviously wrong you may confuse other noobs.
